Help with Crown of the Kobold King maps / images


Pathfinder Second Edition General Discussion


Hello everyone,

I am excited to get the Crown of the Kobold King PDFs and run a new set of young gamers through it for their first real 2e adventure.

In the past when preparing for VTT I have always been able to just copy the map and paste it in a paint document then just upload that as a Map image in Roll20. But with this PDF I just keep getting the page background for every copied image. I can share the cool art or the maps unless I Screen capture the PDF and then crop out the extra stuff. This is fine for Images but doing that with the maps would mean I would need to edit out the room numbers and other things I don't want my players to see while adventuring on the map.

I do have the digital Flip map to go with it but it just gave me two maps, leaving a lot of the content out. So that doesn't help me.

Are there any suggestion or advice to get the Maps like I do when i get An Adventure path? Was this done on purpose to prevent what I am trying to do or something? I do have Foundry but I am unfamiliar with it and have a very busy life just like all of you great people so I just stick with Roll20 because that is what I am most familiar with and can whip up a map and tokens very fast.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and commenting if you choose to.


When I run into this issue with other pdfs, it's usually some weirdness with how the objects are layered I think. Adobe Acrobat has a built-in utility that can dump everything to a folder when stuff like that happens. Alternatively, maybe try deleting or moving whatever you select if you have the option until you get to the image you need underneath.

Download token tool and open the PDF with it. Allows you to pull out all pictures from the file.

Thank You very Much. This is exactly what I have needed for a very long time.


I personally use pdfextract.com and extract all the images of the pdf. You can also grab texts and such, so it's very nice.
